Great video for Drunk............apparently that cat is a bit of a Hollywood supercat - was in Pirates of the Caribbean and the last Bond movie !! Yes, the girl is Ed`s gf........Nina Nesbitt, Scottish singer/writer and rather talented. He`s just released the first track (for free) from the EP he made over New Year with US rappers............with Yeowolf. Not a fan of rap but the combo works well. http://hulkshare.com/5w6269y3edcm

Ed Sheeran`s next single Drunk - released around February I believe could well give him his first No 1................one of the best tracks from the album.

Ed`s jumper is by Common Sons Knitwear (£85) http://www.elementsclothing.co.uk/brands/129/common-sons

Can you please give an update for Ed in the albums please........ta muchly!

True, their popularity is slowly declining, but the phenomenal success of Ed Sheeran restores ones faith in British talent. The guy is amazing.

Do you have an update on Ed`s album please and can you include him in the artist update? Ta muchly

Album sales are going to be huge this week...................Ed just tweeted that he`s sold 60k this week (and he was at No 8 midweek I believe).

Any idea where Ed Sheeran is in both single and album chart (and can you please include him in the artist update.....ta muchly)

Being picked up by a new record label was always going to be a gamble. I guess their X Factor fanbase moved on long ago. I think their future lies not in music but in kids tv.

Matt got a boost from performing at the NTAs last night - back up to No 20.

Matt back up to No 5 - he must be doing well on physicals then because he`s dropped to No 10 on iTunes.

Great news. Has he actually sold more than Shayne Ward did, who was very popular in Ireland ?

Matt seems to be holding up quite well - don`t X Factor singles usually plummet around this time ?

Any info on Matt this week please Mikey ?

Yeah, well done Matt - good choice of single for him. He must be on over 850k now (over 950k including sales in Ireland).

Totally agree.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seven-Summers/dp/B...57&sr=301-1 Enough said :rolleyes:

So you`re guessing he won`t be selling many physicals then ? He had sold out in our huge Tesco this morning (again)

Would love to know the gap between Rihanna and Matt.

4th week at No 1 for Matt. http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p...p&ct=240001

Mikey is Alfie Boe still holding 14 apples ? :P Ooops, can`t see for looking..............13

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=...32&comments Hmm lead singer looks familiar :P Great album by the way.

And why are you so negative about him ? Give the bloke a chance can`t you. He cannot be compared to Joe or Leon............he is more mature, is a musician and has a track record of writing decent songs.

I think it was rather a good choice - totally different from the usual cheesy winner`s single - slightly over-produced in parts, but then he was never going to be allowed to do a stripped back accoustic version. It does confirm the direction that Matt wants to take with his music though. I think if he is allowed to take his band on board with him and write his own album then the future looks good. He is capable of writing good songs - we know that (well those who have heard Seven Summers do and some of the lyrics he writes are pretty damn good).

He can hold my apples any time he likes :P
